Good Morning,

I am up surprising early this morning and I have managed to make a card for this week's Less Is More challenge, which is 'Round and Round'.  I focused on stamped and die cut circles to represent this.

The Craft's Meow (Pokla dot stamp)
Nestabilities

Have to dash now I'm afraid, going out for the day and need to get ready.

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for visiting

CASology Week 88 - Lucky

Good Afternoon,

Wow, we had so many wonderful 'blush' creations last week, trying to pick a winner was so so difficult. 

However it is a new week so we have a new 'Cue Card' to challenge you all and this week it's 'Lucky'.

I couldn't find anything in my stash that I thought represented 'lucky' until I was having a look through my digi stamps and found Stampin Up wedding words and I realised that the poem is what women follow to bring them luck in their future marriage.  So hopefully you all agree that counts for 'Lucky'.  My card today is also super CAS and could even be one layer is you so wished.  All I did was change the word 'blue' to blue to add a little bit more interest to the card.

 Supplies Used:

Now it's over to you guys, I can't wait to see what Clean and Simple ideas you all come up with this week, but before you get started have a quick visit round the rest of the Design Team for further inspiration.

Apologies for disappearing from my blog for the past few days, I came down with a horrible cold and didn't have any cards ready to post.

Supplies Used:
Stampin Up - French Foliage
Stampin Up - Express Yourself (Sentiment)
Stampin Up - Circle Punch

Got a lot of blogging duties to catch up on so must dash.

CASology Week 87 - Blush

If you are looking for my Uniko Studio Challenge post, please click here.

Good Afternoon,

I think we have stumped a few of you with our last couple of Cue Cards at CASology so hopefully this week will be a bit easier.  This week's word is 'Blush', I hope from the design team you can see the different directions you can go with this word.

For my first card I just went with a 'Blush' colour, which is really just pink!  To keep my card CAS and still have lots of white space I die cut a circle of some rather 'fussy' stamping and sponging and mounted that on my card base.

Supplies Used:
Stampin Up - Sponge Daubers
Hero Arts - Butterflies
Clearly Besotted - Mini Banners
Nestabilities

For my next card the phrase 'Blushing Bride' was my inspiration. This card could easily be a one layer card, however I printed my digi stamp onto card and mounted it onto the card base instead.  By doing this I have added a little bit more interest to the card without losing that all important white space. 

Now it's over to you guys, I can't wait to see what Clean and Simple ideas you all come up with this week, but before you get started have a quick visit round the rest of the Design Team for further inspiration.

Uniko Studio Challenge 8 - Hello Spring

Good Morning,

It's time for a new monthly challenge at Uniko Studio

We have a beautiful colour palette and the theme is 'Hello Spring'  Feel free to use some or all of the colours.

And here is my take on the challenge, the gradient of the colours on the chart was the starting point for my card.  It just screamed a grassy field with blue skies, so out came the sponge daubers and I got to work.

Supplies Used:
Uniko Studio - Bright Butterflies Stamps & Dies
Uniko Studio - Nature's Treasures
Uniko Studio - Flower Power 2
Stampin Up - Sponge Daubers
White gel pen
